Remote Browser Isolation: A Path to Zero Trust Security in the Modern Enterprise

Dhaval Gogri

Abstract: As organizations transition towards a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA) to meet the challenges of modern cybersecurity, Remote Browser Isolation (RBI) emerges as a key technology in fortifying enterprise defenses. This paper explores the integration of RBI into ZTA, addressing the need for continuous verification of web interactions and eliminating implicit trust. RBI isolates web browsing sessions in a secure, remote environment, preventing malicious content such as malware and zero-day attacks from reaching user endpoints. By shifting trust away from user devices and quarantining harmful web elements, RBI significantly enhances security in a Zero Trust framework. Despite its advantages, challenges like latency, bandwidth consumption, and costs remain. This paper also outlines potential advancements in RBI, such as improved performance, AI integration for automated threat detection, cost-effective solutions, and expanded use cases. The findings demonstrate that combining RBI with ZTA can effectively mitigate cyber risks while ensuring a seamless user experience, positioning RBI as a critical component of a comprehensive Zero Trust security strategy.
